New QMx Buffy Maquette announced.

A new Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1:10 scale polystone Buffy statue has just been announced. Set to release in Q4 by QMx. Pricing TBD.

Can't say I'm terribly impressed.

Taken from the product page:
Cast in solid polystone and hand-painted, each Buffy maquette will be individually numbered as part of an edition of 1,000. Buffy is the first in our line of reimagined animation-style statues that will show the entire Scooby Gang ready for action!

So, there will be more...

I kinda like it but her face needs some work (to me, her face looks like the bride of Chucky). Kinda reminds me of the Tiki line.

 

[sueworld]

To me she looks like some kind of ape. Nothing like Buffy and that pose doesn't help either.

Very negative response to it over on Whedonesque too.

 

[Sidewinder]

Looks creepy lol

 

[Niltusk]

Ick... was very excited when I saw this thread, but..... no thanks.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Uh...no

 

[dxdave]

Passerific!

 

[TheWhirlwind]

Um, I'm obviously the only one who likes this at all !

I can see how peeps would be put off by her face sculpt - her eyes and smile are way too manic. I like the idea of Buffy looking eager to slay a few vamps, but tlc38tlc38 said it well, "her face looks like the bride of Chucky"
But I kinda like it anyway - I like creepy manic Buffy I guess.

I really like her pose on top of the tombstone though. It's pretty stylised rather than from any actual scene, but to me , WAY better than the overtly sexualised Sideshow Buffy on her weird throne. Much prefer her to the Tiki Buffys too.
I didn't see her as ape-like until I saw Sueworld's comment and now it's hard not to.

 

[Sidewinder]

I prefer the Throne over her own tombstone personally lol

 

[ditch]

I see Chucky in the sculpt.

 

[Star Puffs]

No way. Seriously, just NO.

Learn how to make 1:6 figures with the early Firefly releases, and then visit Sunnydale.

 

[Something Sexy]

That looks....awful.

 

[FSLAR]

how about no

 

[shiftyraccoon]

LOVE the tombstone. Hate the Buffy

 

[WolfBoy]

Its hideous, she looks demonic.

 

[sueworld]

Makes you wonder how these things get past the concept art stage doesn't it. I mean I haven't seen anybody say this was wonderful or worth getting yet.

 

[-jay-]

I see Chucky in the sculpt.

Yeah

QMX's face sculpts have always pretty either way off (in a stylized way) or really ******. The 1/6th ones are good cause of Trevor :| Their statue version of mal sucks :|

 

[BuffyGirl]

Hmmmm, yeah. I don't know what to say. I don't wish to be a downright jerk and say how horrible it is since people actually took time to create it. I will say though that I enjoy the pose a lot. It's something more like a kid would do and at times, Buffy still acted all pouty and childish (yes please) and so I can see that connection.

The face is definitely a turn off. Not that it wouldn't be cool if it were just a regular character face for a random animated drawing. It's fine and all, but doesn't sell it for me as Buffy, herself. It's got to look like SMG.

Also, I was hoping for some 1/6 like FF is getting. *sigh. So many missed opportunities by ssc to give me what I want.

one of the best honest responses without being as you said a downright jerk i've ever seen on here.
